Yi, has the potential to become a beefy champion, he has the right abilities to become a tank or to the very least a DPS Champion that does not fear to initiate into a raging war, kill his target and make it very much alive. This idea made me giggle in the start.. but then, it caught on, like an infection in my mind I could not stop thinking about it. So... *twitch* *hee-hee* I tried it.
The results, well... were just magnificent. Never have I played master Yi, received more than 15 kills and have 0 deaths. Never have I been able to just run into a group of opponents and come out alive. Never have I been able to run through 2 turrets just to secure my kill, and come out of it.. Alive.

- Ability to absorb a ton of damage.
- High Damage.
- "Do not fear the unknown"..Highlander+cleanse= Get out of anything.
- Meditate makes you take no damage + heals you. Consider it a recharge.
- Backdooring is easy because of great damage and you can tank towers like a baws.
- Your opponents will be like: "What The F---" all game.
- Allows you to lane effectively in Double Lanes.
- Powerful at the start of a game, and late game.

- The build is expensive and requires you to be fed.
- You must be an experienced player, this build is HARD to play.
- Not phenomenal damage (No Infinity Edge or Bloodthirster).
- Your team mates might rage at you.
- Mid Game will be difficult.






You may notice that I prefer to max Meditate before Alpha strike, that is mainly because I use alpha strike to catch up to my enemies (since it scales with Ability power and won't deal alot of damage with this build), meditate serves as a much more helpful tool. You can max alpha strike before meditate, but remember you will not be as beefy.


Other Options:






Greater Mark of Desolation Armor Penetration is better than Attack Damage and Attack Speed, there is alot of boring math out there to prove this. The stat (ArP) truely shines Late Game.






















This is what my guide is based on, a beefy tanky











This build requires you to get fed, to get kills and assists. What can be a better starting damage dealing item other than


The item that will get you to 3500+ health at level 18. The item that will make you "beefy", yes..




The last item is very situational you can get a




Finally regarding situational items, there are many options out there, however I HIGHLY recommend you stick to the build. This build itself is situational. The situational items can be implemented after you have warmog's




A


Boots -








Maintain the pressure on your opponents and always try to gank when you can, even if it means running to the mid lane. During this phase of the game you really want to try and get atleast 1 kill.

After you get



>> Remember to only Last Hit minions, when the minion's HP is low then attack it, hopefully it will kill the minion and thus increase your gold farming. The advantage of this is that the opponents will extend to your side, so they have more distance to run for the protection of the turret. This will help you gank them alot easier.
>> Do not

>> Move around. Never stand in one place, this makes it alot easier for you to get aimed at and targeted, be constantly moving! Moving also results in you clicking all over alot, this will warm your hand up and get it ready.. so you can react faster.
>> You are not god. Please, don't do stupid things and blame it on the guide. I am not going to give examples, im sure you know when you do something idiotic in-game.
>> Help your team farm dragon. Dragon gives you alot of gold, around the same gold as killing a champion or two. The team who constantly farms the dragon will have a huge advantage.
>> Don't try and save a team-mate who is obviously going to die, no matter what you do. He died a noble death.
